Changelog

The changelog section is common to all releasers. The reference shows the use of github but you may substitute it with the appropriate releaser of your choice.

JReleaser requires a full copy of the codebase. Using a shallow copy may result in partial changelog or errors. Note the use of fetch-depth: 0 option on the Checkout step when running on GitHub Actions for example.

Changelog formatting applies only to the automatically generated changelog, that is, formatting won’t occur if the external property is set. Please note that the formatted property must also be set. Format applies only to local commits at the moment, the use of labelers is highly encouraged.

The changelog.format property accepts only the following name templates:

Key	Description
commitShortHash	head commit hash abbreviated to 7 characters
commitFullHash	head commit hash
commitTitle	first line of the commit message
commitAuthor	full name of the commit author
commitBody	full commit message
commitsUrl	commits URl as provided by the Git host

The content and contentTemplate accept all Name Templates, take special consideration on {{changelogChanges}} and {{changelogContributors}} as they define the parsed commits.

If you want to omit merge commits in the changelog, use skipMergeCommits property. If not set, defaults to {{false}}.

Templates

The default location for templates is:

src/jreleaser/templates

The following list shows the filenames that may be used to override default templates:

changelog.tpl

Commits

If you wish to generate the changelog between two tags, with tags in between, you may configure previousTagName. It generates the changelog based on all commits between the two tags. (git log <previousTagName>…<tagName>).

If not defined, it will default to the logical previous tag of the defined tagName.

Contributors

Contributor names are added to the formatted changelog by default. You may choose to provide a custom format or disable this behavior completely. The contributors.format property accepts the following templates:

Key	Description
contributorName	the contributor’s name as plain text
contributorNameAsLink	the contributor’s name as a link
contributorUsername	the contributor’s username as plain text
contributorUsernameAsLink	the contributor’s username as a link

Key

Description

contributorName

the contributor’s name as plain text

contributorNameAsLink

the contributor’s name as a link

contributorUsername

the contributor’s username as plain text

contributorUsernameAsLink

the contributor’s username as a link

The use of {{contributorNameAsLink}}, {{contributorUsername}}, or {{contributorUsernameAsLink}} incurs on a network call to the remote service to find out information related to the given contributor.

Use a - or * character as prefix in format to list each contributor on its own row.

The following configuration

release:
  github:
    username: aalmiray
    overwrite: true
    draft: false
    sign: true
    changelog:
      formatted: ALWAYS
      format: '- {{commitShortHash}} {{commitTitle}}'
      labelers:
        - label: 'feature'
          title: 'Resolves #'
          body: 'Resolves #'
        - label: 'issue'
          title: 'Fixes #'
          body: 'Fixes #'
        - label: 'issue'
          title: 'Relates to #'
          body: 'Relates to #'
        - label: 'task'
          title: '[chore]'
      categories:

          key: 'features'
          labels:

        - title: '✅ Issues'
          key: 'issues'
          labels:

        - title: '🧰 Tasks'
          key: 'tasks'
          labels:
            - 'task'
      replacers:
        - search: '\[chore\] '

Generates a changelog similar to

Order

Both labelers and categories will be ordered based on their declared location however you may change this order by explicitly setting a value for their order property. The lower the number the higher the priority. The value of the order property must be unique.

Presets

Presets define conventions applicable to:

labelers
categories
replacers
hide
- categories
- contributors

You may apply a preset while at the same time define additional elements. Your configuration takes precedence over the preset’s, allowing you to add/merge. For the time being you can’t remove a setting defined by a preset.

Conventional Commits

Commit messages that follow the Conventional Commits specification will be automatically labeled and categorized. The following table shows mappings that you may use when this preset is applied:

Category	Key	Order	Label	Prefix	Order

Appending

JReleaser may append the changelog for a given release to an existing changelog (typically CHANGELOG.md at the root of the project). This can be achieved by enabling the append block, for example

release:
  github:
    changelog:
      formatted: ALWAYS
      categoryTitleFormat: '#### {{categoryTitle}}'
      contributorsTitleFormat: '#### Contributors'
      preset: conventional-commits
      append:
        enabled: true

Given an initial CHANGELOG.md such as

CHANGELOG.md

# Changelog

Lorem isum dolor sit amet.

<!-- JRELEASER_CHANGELOG_APPEND - Do not remove or modify this section -->

The updated changelog for a 1.0.0 releas would look like this

CHANGELOG.md

# Changelog

Lorem isum dolor sit amet.

<!-- JRELEASER_CHANGELOG_APPEND - Do not remove or modify this section -->
## [v1.0.0]

Note the use of a special comment as anchor for finding the right place to append the generated changelog. If the anchor does not exist then the generated changelog will be prepended at the beginning of the full changelog.

Changelog appending is only active when a project is not snapshot.

JReleaser does not verify if a previous tag is already found in the full changelog before appending.

Examples

Given a repository with the following commit information:

* 4df324c (HEAD -> main) chore: Update JReleaser configuration
* 035c613 fix: Update JReleaser configuration
* 19742db feat: Add arguments to Main class
* b2f44ae fix: Use fetch-depth=0 when checking out on release
